摘要
Background The incidence of cryptogenic stroke(CS)accounts for about 25%of ischemic stroke.Current studies have shown that cryptogenic stroke is closely related to patent foramen ovale(PFO).Evaluating the correlation between PFO and CS needs to be combined with multidisciplinary evaluation.Many clinical studies have shown that drug therapy can reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in elderly PFO patients(>60 years old).However,whether elderly PFO patients(>60 years old)can benefit from PFO closure is still controversial.This article reviewed the research progress of drug therapy and PFO closure therapy for cryptogenic stroke associated with PFO in the elderly.[S Chin J Cardiol 2024;25(1):50-56].
